The Greatest Lesson I Never Taught | CITE Slides - Nov. 17, 2021, Sacramento, CA
Learning Found: All Who Wander Are Not Lost
The phrase ‘Learning Loss’ has been used to pummel educators over the last two years to create a narrative of inadequacy and failure. We instead frame this as ‘learning found’ viewed through the lens of Tolkein’s poem ‘All that is Gold Does Not Glitter,’ and explore how ‘not all those who wander are lost.’ This session seeks to flip that mindset and focus on the extraordinary and informal knowledge earned by students during the extended period of remote and blended learning across the globe.

Connecting Student Hearts & MindsCurrent events force us to examine the social and emotional learning (SEL) aspects of professional relationships across educational settings. How can we support learning by addressing the affective element of interactions between students, parenting adults and educators? In this session, you will learn how to champion the whole student through technology-based connections. We will explore approaches to encouraging empathy, relationship-building and discover kindness initiatives that you can take back to your campus or district.
Participants will engage in collaborative activities and brainstorming practical ‘use-it-Monday’ applications and more. Each strategy will employ affordable and accessible apps, resources or websites appropriate for participants. |
